miles' first kinder field trip

miles' class went to windmill farms in arroyo grande with there big buddies class. miles was so excited for me to meet his big buddy.  he told me on the way to school in the morning, "mom you are really going to like my big buddy."  he was a nice boy and really watched out for miles. i think at one point they were even holding hands. we walked around the and visited with the animals, then we went under the tent, where the kids got to plant a broccoli plant and eat lunch.  it was fun

because while we were waiting, mrs. brown (buddies teacher) played a game with the kids.  before we left all the kids got to pick out a pumpkin to bring home. (watch for post with miles' decorated pumpkin)  i liked windwill farms, but not nearly as much as avila barn. i missed taking a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkin.  

student of the month

about three weeks ago, i got a call from miles' school informing me, he had been selected as one of the students of the month for his classroom. i kept it a secret from miles so he would be surprised when we showed up.  on september 25th, david, sam sam, auntie charlotte, maisy and myself went to his classroom to be there when he received his award. he was so excited. mr. grigsby called him up to the front of the class and told the reasons he picked miles for student of the month. he said miles was a great artist, a good friend and a hard worker.  then mr. grigsby asked the boys and girls in the class if they had anything nice to say about miles. it was really nice.  the cutest comment was from one little girl who said "miles always has nice hair".  i am so happy about miles' year in kindergarten so far. he is very happy and is excited to go to school everyday.  keep up the good work bug boy... you make mommy and daddy so proud!
